“We are absolutely ecstatic to have been awarded this grant as it means that The Ecology Centre can continue to provide its services to the community. It also means that local, young, unemployed people will continue to have opportunities to gain the skills and knowledge to get into employment. It’s very exciting to have a purpose built, environmentally friendly Centre to operate from, enabling more people to be involved in a more comfortable environment”.

“
“I’ve been involved with Beattie Passive for a number of years and having already completed a successful housing association build project in Fife, it seemed a natural fit to use the Beattie Passive Build System for the Ecology Centre tender. The simplicity of the System made it easy to scale for a non-domestic building and crucially, it would deliver on cost, buildability and environmental factors including air tightness and thermal performance”.
